Saying goodbye to our beloved dachshund Lily was one of the most painful moments of our lives, but thanks to Dr. Lisa Stadler with CodaPet, it was also one of the most peaceful and compassionate. Dr. Lisa, a retired veterinarian, brought a gentle presence and deep empathy into our home—qualities that made an unbearable day a little more bearable. Her kindness and professionalism helped guide my wife and me through the process with grace and dignity. We are overwhelmingly grateful that Lily was able to pass in the comfort of her home, surrounded by the space and the things she loved most. Holding her in my arms as she went peacefully was a blessing I will never forget. The communication with CodaPet was seamless, and scheduling the appointment was simple—something I deeply appreciated during such an emotionally difficult time. I cannot recommend CodaPet and Dr. Lisa more highly. Their service was not just professional—it was personal, compassionate, and deeply respectful. Thank you for being part of Lily’s journey, and ours. You will forever hold a place in our hearts.

We had to say goodbye to our 17 year old dog, Zoey, our first baby, who has been with us since she was 10 weeks old. Making that call was the hardest thing we’ve ever done. Inviting someone into our home for such a heartbreaking moment felt overwhelming… but Dr. Jen walked in with so much gentleness and calm that she immediately made it feel safe. She was kind, patient, and unbelievably compassionate. She explained everything softly, gave us as much time as we needed, and treated Zoey with so much dignity and respect. It never felt rushed. It never felt clinical. It felt like someone who truly understands that this isn’t “just a pet.” This is family. Because of Dr. Jen, Zoe was able to pass peacefully in her own home, surrounded by the people who loved her most. In the middle of one of the worst days of our lives, she was a steady, comforting presence. We will always be grateful for that. If you ever find yourself in the heartbreaking position of needing this service, I cannot recommend Dr. Jen enough. She is truly an angel.

Dr. Mills guided us through our first pet euthanasia. We cannot imagine having gone through this with anyone else. We are so happy we chose in-home euthanasia. We’ve had our Chloe girl since we rescued her as a kitten. After 17 wonderful years it was time for her to cross the rainbow bridge. She was blind, deaf, and had light blood pressure and kidney failure. She loved to be near us but hated being picked up and she despised trips to the vet. Dr. Mills was ah-mazing. Compassionate, skilled, knowledgeable, etc etc etc. Chloe was able to stay in her favorite spot on the couch, soaked in sunshine, surrounded by her people and peacefully fall asleep. Thank you, Dr. Mills, for being so good at what you do and providing a beautiful and peaceful passing for our beloved Chloe.

She was so gentle and loving to our Fancie. She was wonderful to us in such a difficult time. She explained what would happen and gave us as much time as we needed to say our goodbyes. You are very fortunate to have such a caring employee. Thank you so much for providing this service

The team at CodaPet made all the difference in the world. The process was smooth and they were readily available to answer any questions. Dr. Katie Simpson was so considerate, gentle, and kind. She and her team made what was a very hard day a little bit better.

Faced the difficult decision to euthanize our beloved 18 year old Papillon and used Codapet to do it in our home as our dog hated to go to the vet. Dr. Katie Todd arrived and explained in detail the process, gave us plenty of time to say our goodbyes, and made the process as easy as possible. She was very reassuring to my children that we had made the right decision and explained all the options for taking care of the remains and provided us with keepsakes to ease the family’s pain. Thank you so much Dr.Todd in doing what has to be one of the world’s toughest jobs!
